Well first off they both bring reddish aura to the user. They also cause damage to the user. They also can raised to different levels. And they both can kill the user if overused. Which one do you think is more effective?

Goku's eyebrows don't turn into flames, so no

At least, using Kaioken wouldn't kill the user, just damage the body.

Kaio ken is far better. Going to the highest level doesn't mean certain death

Pretty sure king kai said something about it killing you if you over do the amount of kaioken you use for example KaiokenX100000 would probably kill you

8th gate > Kaioken
8th gate = 100x base
KK = 20x base

Again like i said i believe king kai says something about it killing you. Also there is hints like the fact that goku screams out "body don't fail me" shows that it could probably either cause major damage or even kill you.

Kaioken > 8th Gates. Kaioken put up enough of a fight to mentally unsettle Frieza. 8th Gate would get fodderized.

8 gates. Kaiken's max is 20X. 8 gate's max is 100X . SSJ2 is 100X base power. So yeah, if either existed in the other series, 8 gates is better.

I guess if you go overboard you'd die but it seems with training it becomes easier to handle, Gokus body was in major pain from like X3 in the Saiyan Arc whereas in against Frieza he could handle far higher levels, 8 Gates is a definite kill.

Kaioken > 8th Gates. Kaioken put up enough of a fight to mentally unsettle Frieza. 8th Gate would get fodderized.

That was because of Goku's power tho If Goku could use 8 Gates, It be far beyond the level of Naruto characters.

Kaioken doesn't have a max tho #themoreyouknow

I mean if Akamaru used 8 gates it wouldn't do anything now would it? 8 Gates has to have some kind of power-scale to the one using it (I realize the manga says otherwise but I don't know, would Lee using 8 Gates at the same time make him as strong as Guy for instance?)


Also Kaio-Ken has no limits to increase. It could increase a person's power by 200X if one wanted. And it wouldn't obliterate them as long as they could handle it. You mentioned yourself how after Goku trained more he could easily handle 20X. Super Saiyan was obviously stronger, but had he wanted he could have increased Kaio-Ken to hundreds of thousands of times more power by Buu Saga.

8 Gates has a power limit, Kaio-Ken does not. It would be logical then that Kaio-Ken is more powerful.
